Finding Water - Dowsing

[Lightspeed]

Hi Mary, your home sounds lovely, and you are right, there must have been a well there in the past. Good luck with your search.


The odest structures at our house are between 200 and 400 years old from what we can make out. The first well was not by luck, it was one of the must haves on the criteria list when we were house hunting.

Technically the water is drinkable. It has very high iron content, but is otherwise tested OK. We have filters in place to use with it if necessary. I have not found any known health issues with drinking high iron content water.

Second well is a lucky find. We have not had time to get into it to see if it is still reaching the water table, and current list of must do's means that this work will have to wait a while. Even if this well is not drinkable, it'll still have a use as grey water for toilets and gardens. I'm also thinking that it might be a good geothermal heat source. Fingers crossed that its still wet.
